Dec. 26th, 2020

Prep: 212F, 10min, 2tsp, 12oz

Aroma: This smells quite similar to the pumpkin spice black tea that I had yesterday. Very spicy notes of cinnamon. 8/10

Flavor: This is not quite as bold as the nose but there is plenty of spices jumping around the palate. Chai spices tend to be too much for Rooibos but this honeyb...

78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2020

Prep: 8oz, sample packet, 212F, 5min

This is my first Irish breakfast tea (at least by the specific tea). This was a free sample in my most recent adagio box.

Aroma: I’ve had a few black teas from Adagio that were quite aggressive in their aromas. This is much more subtle; however, it’s very inviting. Remi...

Candy Apple Tea from Adagio Teas

Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend

56 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 26th, 2020

Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz

Aroma: The aroma of the dry tea had a lot more going on that the liquid. In the mug, I’m really only getting pure black tea (which is fine but this is designed as a flavored tea). 6/10

Flavor: This isn’t what I’d call overly flavorful. That said, there is a nice black tea ba...

Dec. 26th, 2020

Prep: 212F, 10min (per tea), sample bag, 8oz

Aroma: Very traditional cinnamon and spice aromas jump out of the mug here. I’m expecting this to be quite spicy. 9/10

Flavor: Fairly good pop of cinnamon and clove notes. This doesn’t overwhelm your palate with spice but it bring back memories of chai spiced la...

Dec. 25th, 2020

Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz

It’s Christmas and all of my gifts this year were tea. I’ve had quite a day of sampling some new blends. I’m probably well over the caffeine limit but let’s keep the train rolling.

One of my gifts was a holiday adagio set with six 1oz tins. Most of the blends sounded tasty ...

Maple Creme Oolong from Adagio Teas

Dec. 25th, 2020

Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
Note: Adagio is really generous. They give you points and free tea for eating their tea or sharing their company on social. This particular tea was a free sample which is always a joy to receive.

Aroma: The aroma on this one really comes into focus as it cool. Definitely shows a brow...

Buddha’s Dream from Adagio Teas

Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: ?????

72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020

I’m a big fan of white tea and generally haven’t had a lot of success with green tea. I keep trying to evolve my palate and this tea is a step in that direction.

Prep: 175F, 16oz, 2 heaping tsp, 3 minutes
Aroma: Very delicate nose with mild peach. This has that relax in the couch with a movie tea type feel. 7...

White Ayurvedic Chai from Adagio Teas

Style: White Tea – Region: Blend

76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2020

Prep: 205F, 5min, 4tsp for 16oz (as per instructions but lowered 212 to 205).

When Teavana made this variety, it was one of the first teas that I truly loved. This is meant to be a replacement for their discontinued line, I think.

Aroma: The nose really shows off the spice of the tea with some pungent cinnamon....

Dec. 24th, 2020

Prep: 175F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp, 16oz

Taste: Very nice. Mild peach on a delicate white backdrop. Really mellow and enjoyable. 8/10

Dec. 23rd, 2020

Prep: 8oz, 175F, 2.5 min
Aroma: The name is spot on. Really does have a Citronella note balanced by the earthiness of the green tea. 6/10

Flavor: This is pleasant. I mostly taste earth green tea but the aroma of the lemon and lime does add something. Probably not my go to blend but it’s solid. 6/10

Body: Pret...

Dec. 23rd, 2020

Prep: 212F,5min, 2tsp, 16oz water

Aroma: Really getting the black tea malty notes but not a ton of anything else. 6/10

Flavor: This comes across primarily as a creamy black tea. I’m not sure if maybe I just need to shake the tin a bit. It’s a good black tea though! 6/10

Body: Fairly full bodied tea. 7/1...

Coconut from Adagio Teas

Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: ?????

78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020

Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz

Aroma: Smelling the dry tea, there is a fairly substantial coconut flesh aroma that thankfully stays away from the artificial sun tan lotion notes that can often plague many coconut products. In the mug, the rich malty notes from the black tea are dominant with a mild creamy coconut not...

Chocolate Chai Pu Erh from Adagio Teas

Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????

Dec. 22nd, 2020

Prep: 212F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp for 16oz.

Aroma: I often am critical of chai teas because they are too balanced. Typically, I want the spice when I go for chai. This blend delivers. Quite spicy, plenty of chocolate in the nose. 9/10

Flavor: There is not a disparity between the aroma and flavor which is nice. Ve...

Honeybush Banana Nut from Adagio Teas

Dec. 21st, 2020

Prep: 2 tsp, 16oz, 212F, 5min

The aroma of this dry tea is mind blowing. I honestly believe this could be a dehydrated banana nut muffin in a bag.

Aroma:after brewing, this still very much smells like a banana nut muffin. It’s crazy how well it hits all those notes. 10/10

Taste: There is a bit of a honey...

Dec. 21st, 2020

Prep: 212F, 3 min, 16oz, 2tsp

Appearance: deep red with some oil residue on top of the tea (from the candy cane, I’d guess)

Aroma: This smells incredible. So much peppermint. Of even go as far as to say that it’s the specific peppermint that I’d associate with a candy cane. Incredibly well done.

Taste:...
